It has come to our attention that some exporters are sending correspondence to out of date team contacts and email addresses. As a result, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) team in Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) are not receiving these requests, which means that a response cannot be sent.

With immediate effect all requests from exporters for open general export licence (OGEL) approval letters, Crown Exemption letters and all enquiries of a general nature about MOD Form 680 applications should only be sent to:

ECJU-MODTeam@mod.gov.uk

Enquiries will be acknowledged and actioned by a named Desk Officer in the MOD Team.

There are 3 types of OGEL that require UK exporters to obtain an approval letter from the MOD. These are:

  • UK government defence contracts, military goods
  • collaborative Project Typhoon and military goods
  • collaborative project A400M

If exporters continue to encounter difficulties in contacting the MOD Team, then please telephone the ECJU Helpline on 020 7215 4594.
